This card is a Christmas case of my own card that I posted here a little bit ago. This will be one card that my Aunt has requested we make at her workshop on World Card making day.

Are you interested to having your own Christmas themed Stamp Camp - where we make 10 cards or maybe a Christmas styled workshop? Contact me today to pick your date and please check out my upcoming events here.

New this year is on-line ordering! Give your wish lists to your loved ones and friends, point them to in this direction to my demonstrator website. In the top right hand corner all they need to press is Shop Now button where they can order your next must have stamp set or much needed supplies for Christmas, birthday or just because!

So over at Splitcoaststampers.com they have been looking for index cards for Stampin' Up! stamp sets. These are very simple cards that include each image from the selected stamp set and is the icon for that gallery. For example, this card is the index for Holiday Trinkets gallery (click Holiday Trinkets to check out some great examples!)

With fall here I'm drawn to these colours: Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Really Rust and Very Vanilla. I know these colours were used in yesterdays post, and the truth is that the card does go with the bag I made yesterday for a hostess thankyou! But these colours are yummy!

Fall is my favourite time of year! Are you seeing signs of fall around your home? The leaves have been slowly changing here for awhile now, but I wish the colours would stay around far longer than they do.

After finally having some stamp time this past weekend with my mom, (we spread out on her dinning room table and made a big mess all afternoon!), I was able to do a demo challenge from Splitcoaststampers. And that is where today's Project Monday idea came from. These bags are cute and very simple to make.

Okay where did the last week go? Oh right, trip to Ottawa, Mom doing round #5 of chemo, the start of a new girl guide/brownie year and last night's adventures! I'd say that is enough in one week to keep me busy!

Anyways, last night's project was a food related one instead of stamping.

My husband and I spent a few hours peeling, slicing, and canning 2 baskets of peaches. Something we have never done before! I am proud of us though and I cannot wait to eat them! Hopefully tomorrow I will have some stamping time, I sure miss it when I don't get to stamp or scrapbook.

Okay still posting along here tonight before bed. These following pages are made using a retired simply scrappin' kit, but it's great for ideas. I have a hard time with 6"x6" pages, I want to have full pictures and they take up quite a bit of room! Oh well. I have been working on this scrapbook of the dog for quite awhile. I know, I know, who needs a scrapbook of their dog? Me of course!

Instead of stamping and creating the past few days I've been mixing up my blog layout and design. I've been thinking of going to 3 column lately and finally now it's here! A few more little things to do and then I can come back once I get some stamp time in. Happy Saturday to you all!

OK! This is how I did it:Go over and check out this blog for directions, it helped me out quite a bit. Some modification to the html and voila! 3 Columns! Just remember to read all directions. I did most of the directions and then got all confused why the columns were not spaced evenly. Find out that I had forgotten to change something to "left"!

So just a note of caution, this following post is made with the recently retired Simply Scrappin' Kit Crew Kids Girl. All supplies other than envelopes and ribbon, oh and a brad too, were all included in the kit.

I love these colours together: Wild Wasabi (retired In Color), Regal Rose, Whisper White and Basic Grey.The centre of the album is made gluing envelopes together to create pockets for card stock that can hold photos or memorabilia. The sticky die cuts are great to add dimension and make it really easy to put all this together. All that is left now is to give it away as a gift so that it can be used!

I hope everyone is enjoying an extra day off for this long weekend! Husband and I went camping, and such gorgeous weather we had. I can't wait to go back there to see all the leaves when they turn in 6 weeks on Thanksgiving weekend.

I used my new stamps that arrived last week. This colour combination jumped out at me. I love it! Kiwi Kiss, Pink Passion, Taken with Teal and Whisper White. Oh and I guess we have to include Basic Black. The turquoise card comes out and the white stamped images are actually embossed with white embossing powder. Check out splitcoaststampers for a great tutorial!
